Volume on iPod Too Loud But Unable to Lower

On my iPod, the volume is turned all the way down, but it still plays too loud. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

There is a chance that the iPod is a European model, which has a much lower maximum volume compared to the US models.  Just a thought though.

  • The volume is just too **** loud! :)

    When I hook up my iMac to the normal speaker system, it's all good, I turn the volume way up in Leopard, and then proceed to 'down-tune' it with the speaker's own volume knob.
    But there are times the rest of the house is still asleep, and I use the headphones that came with my iPod. The problem is, I can't turn the volume down far enough. 0 'blocks' of volume (in Leopard) is completely muted, and 1 'block' is already too loud. Of course, some applications have their own volume control (iTunes, Quicktime, etc), so I can turn it down there, but that does not control the volume of the system's own sounds (The "Ding"-download-is-done-sound for instance).
    Is there a way to turn the volume down in the system (like, 0.5 'block' would be ideal) without using headphones with a built-in volume control? (for one, I don't own one of them, and secondly, they usually destroy sound quality)
    Right now, I kinda feel like Huey Lewis in Back to the Future. "It's just too **** loud".

    Sorry but I don't understand which "block" you are talking about. Volume adjustment is continuous rather than discrete. If you do it in System preferences->sound, the volume bar is nice and long so it shouldn't be hard to find a good level.

    Ah! I think, you mean the volume button on the keyboard. Just do it in system preferences or using the volume bar in the menu.

  • Headphone volume is always too loud

    My new laptop is unacceptably loud when using headphones in the combo jack. The sound is bearable at exactly 1 volume, which obviously leaves no room for adjustment. This was not a problem with my previous laptop, an old HP Pavilion dv6t. That computer also had Beats Audio, but the version number was higher, and it recognized my headphones as being different from the laptop speakers. On my new ENVY 15, the only playback device is Speaker/HP, and it uses the same profile when I'm using headphones.
    Is there a way to lower the volume all around? I am currently using the recommended driver for this model, which is odd, because it's apparently an earlier version than the computer I bought years ago. Can I replace or upgrade driver or Beats Audio Control Panel?

  • In-call volume is WAAYY too LOUD!

    I have an HTC One (M7) and I am having a problem with the in-call volume being too loud.  Even when turned to the lowest setting, I can hold the phone 18 inches from my face and hear the conversation perfectly.  I work in an office and my cube-mate can hear my calls.
    I have tried turning the call volume all the way up and then all the way done - No joy.
    I have done a factory refresh and re-installed my apps - No joy.
    I have confirmed the setting relating to hearing aids is off. - No joy.
    I have Tried it with Batas Audio on/off - No joy.
    Any other ideas.  I am extremely frustrated with all of the Google searching that I have done to address this.  Has anyone else seen this and solved it?

    A few people with in call volume problems have mentioned that they had to hold their phones away from them while adjusting in call volume (it didn't change when next to their ears. It may be related to the automatic pickup/answer call feature that occurs if you have it enable to answer a call when you bring it to your ear). After making a call you can try holding it away from you while adjusting.
    The below applies to the m8 Harmon/Kardon edition and was a recommended solution for in-call volume issues for that phone, but may work on your m7 phone too.
    Perform a soft reset.
    A soft reset restarts your phone and does not erase any of your content or data.
    Press and hold the Power key and Volume Up key for 10 seconds.
    Your HTC One® M8 Harman/Kardon® edition
      restarts.
    You can access a HTC diagonstics menu by typing the following into your phone when at a dialing screen:
    *#*#3424#*#*
    The first test in the audio test option plays from the in call speaker.

  • Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Volume is still too loud at 0%

    Hi,
    I got the Lifechat LX-3000, and when I move the volume slider down in the volume controls, it gets quieter, but when I get to 0% I still hear sound, and I cannot make it get any quieter than it gets at that point. If I click mute, the sound goes off, but
    I want to be able to use the headphones at a lower volume than what it is at 0%. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please test the issue using another headphone.
    If that one works fine, based on my research, please download and install the
    driver and see how it works.
    If issue persists, it is recommended to contact
    Microsoft Hardware Support for help.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot adjust sound without it being too loud

    Hello.
    I've basically had this problem since I upgraded to Windows Vista, and now it's starting to frustrate me quite a bit since going down the 64x bit route...
    I cannot figure out how to get my volumes back to a normal state. When I was on Windows XP, I could have my main volume at about 75, and it would not be too quiet or too loud, but since the ugprade, the speakers are set to 4, and everything has to be jacked down otherwise it is far too loud.
    The sound card is an Audigy 2 ZS.
    This is what my volume mixer panel looks like.

    I have the same problem on my 2011 Macbook Pro.
    I've been using my computer with my lid closed and on external speakers and monitor and bluetooth devices for days on end and I haven't found a solution.
    Has anyone out there found a solution yet?
    This was the only place I found so far with the same exact issue I have.
    I've had some virus trauma in my life, so my mind naturally goes to "VIRUS!" after any little strange thing happens. I'm pretty much imploding at the moment, so, if you guys have anything, let me know.

  • Voluem is too loud!

    just wondering if anyone else has had or heard of this problem.
    The volume is way too loud. I tested it in two different headphones. also the volume is much, much louder in one side of the headphones. AND this is really weird. if I turn the volume ALL the way down, the volume is still way too loud (one the one side) to listen to comfortably. any ideas?

    yes, tried that. still having the problem.
    to be more precise, the one stereo channel does respond to the volume controls, but the other does not. it seems to be playing the left side at max volume at all times, while the right side loudens and softens with the scroll wheel.
    well I guess I have to take it back.

  • Have an ipod touch 2g, but can't upgrade to ios 4.2.1

    I have an ipod touch 2g which is on ios 2.2.1  iTunes says this is the current version, but I know I can update to 4.2.1  I have tried contacting Apple help, but they have just referred me to articles that tell me to update via iTunes!! 
    Has anybody come across this or have any ideas what I can do to sort it out. Have now spent 2 days trying to sort this out & becoming a little frustrated.
    Thank you

    Well you can upgrade an 1G iPod too. But only to 3.1.3 and not to 4.2.1.
    But you have to pay for the upgrade. Then you download it with iTunes to your iPod just like downloading a song.

    Check this link for information how to make an upgrade.

  • The volume on my iPod was fine, but now it's too loud and I don't know how to turn it down.

    The volume on my iPod was just fine, but somehow it got turned up too loud, and I don't know how to turn it down.

    Hi Virginia1945,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Depending on which iPod nano model you have, you can adjust the volume with the button on the side, the top, or using the click wheel. You may also be able to set a maximum volume, so it doesn't get turned up too loud in the future.
    You can find the user guides for your iPod nano at this link:

  • I want to talk on skype and watch YouTube same time. But YouTube is too loud. How can I can change the two volumes? Tia!

    I want to talk in skype on my iphone 5, and watch YouTube together. But I can't hear on skype because YouTube is too loud. How can I control the two different volumes?

    This is a user to user support forum.  We are all iphone users just like you.
    You are not addressing Apple here at all.
    This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
    "it's too fragile"
    No it is not.  i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
    " U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
    No you don't.  Why do you think this?
    "and there is no customer support!!!  "
    Wrong yet again.  Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
    "but I will go back with Blackberry "
    Please do.
    Good ridance

  • Ipod playing too loud?

    Hi there, JOSH!!! Oooooooohhhhhhhhh! Anyway, I've been having some problems with my ipod nano (4th gen) recently and I'm wondering if ya'll could help me out, if you'd kindly :3
    Firstly the ipod is playing too loud, way too loud. Now this is not just your typical loudness, this is.... Advananced loudness.... To the point that the song becomes barely listenable.. Ok, to give you an example, let's say I'm listening to "POWER" by Kanye West. When the drums and the 'beat' come in at about 0:25 it just sounds like grabbled static, really loud, grabbled static. :/
    And I've no idea what's going on.. At first I thought that the bass and treble in the equalizer was too high, but it turned out the equalizer wasn't even on :S Then I tried restoring it to factory settings (Several times), but that didn't work either. And 'then' I thought it might just be the headphones, but that was a dead end too! :O Now I'm left wondering, just what the **** is going on :/ Anyone have any ideas on this? (P.S Volume limit was never used)
    Secondly it runs out of battery, like that *Clicks fingers* I think after 45 minutes it's already out of juice. :/ Though I believe that this might be due to the 'loud' problem, it could be something else ...
    Thirdly it keeps 'crashing' and it's not just a 'hold down ya menu and play button and it'sa better' crash. It's a 'Restore to factory and resync your whole ****ing libeary everytime' crash :/
    It's only recently started doing this. About the time itunes was last updated.. I synced up and poof ipod starts acting funny :S
    So can anybody find me!!! Somebody tohelpmefixmyipod?
    As a note my Nano magically recovered from being dropped in water about a year. However it's been working just fine and dandy for about 5-6 months now.

    Try verifying that you do not have optional volume adjustment cranked up.
    While in iTunes, get info on a track that is having this issue.  Go to the options tab and at the top there is a "Volume Adjustment" setting. It should be set to "None". If it is set to +100%, that is your problem.
    To fix, all of them at once, you can select all in your music library, then right click and select "Get Info" it will ask if you want to change multiple files at once, say yes. Then go to the options tab and set it to None and it will put that on all your tracks.
    click ok, resync your music and see if that does it.

  • Facetime the volume is too loud

    I just updated my iPod touch to iOS 6 and when I  Facetime the volume is too loud even if I turn it down. I tried to restore it several times but nothing changed...what can I do? Do I have to send it to Apple support?

    I am having a similar problem - but it's not exactly the same. 
    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 6 when it first came out and everything seemed fine. 
    Last weekend, I noticed that I had soem issues with music copied to my phone which I couldn't seem to delete and after a lot of mucking about, decided the ebst best was to restore my phone to basics and re-load all of my music. 
    I noticed when I did the restore to rhe iPhone that it downloaded a new copye of iOS as part of the restore. 
    After the update, I managed to clean up my music but in phone calls, the audio on my phone - through the handset speaker is too loud and it makes the speaker vibrate.  If i try to use the volume buttons, i can see the volume slider move up or down but the audio volume doesn't actually change very much and even at low levels the audio qulity is poor.  the speaker vibrates.  Strange thing is that if i put the phone call on speaker phone, it's fine.
    If I use the headphones, volume does change on calls when i use the volume controls on the headphone cable.  it even changes when i use the volume buttons on the handset with the headphones plugged in and in both cases the audio quality is fine. 
    With the headphones in music volume is low but does adjust up and down using wither the cable volume controls or the ones on the handset.
    Audio on music through my car sound system seems fine and does increase or decrease as I adjust it in the car.
    The only issue seems to be phone caslls through the handset speaker in normal mode......

  • Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

    I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
    I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

    Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
    Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
    The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.
